The Government of Qatar has welcomed recent announcements by Twitter to strengthen privacy considerations and the overall safety of their users.

A statement by the Government Communication Office said that Qatar also welcomes the steps Twitter is already taking to end the malicious misuse of its service, including taking down automated spam bots. Qatar recognises that many of Twitters efforts (to remove the more than 8-10mn fake accounts a week) have helped remove some of the weaponized propaganda and hate speech spread against our nation during the current blockade.
The Government Communication office's statement noted that Twitter plays a vital role in enabling individual freedoms. "We hope all of Qatar’s residents and citizens abide by Twitters terms of service to protect such freedoms. Twitter is a public channel, and users should be treated with dignity and respect at all times" the statement said.
